Hello, I have an old laptop HDD I want data from. When I use it in my USB HDD adapter connected to my desktop pc, Windows 10 doesn't see it, even though it worked using the same method before. I put the HDD back in the laptop, I can boot into the laptop HDD running Windows 10, however, it's so slow I can't use it to do anything. I have created a Lubuntu Linux USB drive and booted into that on the laptop and it's fairly quick, meaning the HDD is definately on its last legs causing windows to be slow, why i stopped using the laptop a while ago. I plugged in a spare hdd using the USB adapter into the laptop. Lubuntu sees both the hdd i need data from and the external drive i want to copy data too. The problem is, when I copy my user's folder from the laptops HDD, I can't paste it to the other drive.
I believe this is a permissions issue, but how do I fix this. I know how to do this in windows, but I'm a Linux noob and deathly allergic to the terminal, although i can use it to get apps from repositories and some other stuff.
